The only reason I avoid recommending Bridgestone Blizzaks is that while they are an absolutely incredible preforming tire, the softness of the tire wears out quickly and they tend to have a higher ticket price.
Prefer the Firestone's, however, since they're surprisingly quiet.
I've been very happy with the Blizzaks on my R.
Whoever said blizzak are terrible in the snow is a lunatic I have to TRY and get the traction control to come on, and cane take corners covered in ice at 40-50mph and the car doesn’t even wiggle…now my preference is Michelin Alpin Pa4 but I had these in my garage from a couple years ago…I bought them then 2 weeks later the wheel got a crack, so I got the Alpin on the 19” wheels and did that the last 3 winters, now the wheel is fixed and the basically new blizzaks are great just got back from 5 inches of snow and ice I’m driving the speed limit everybody else has their hazards on and/or crashing into curbs.
I highly recommend Bridgestone Blizzaks. I put those on my stock steelies and bought a nicer set of aftermarket wheels with all season tires for Spring through Fall.
It’ll probably be close to 50K on the Firestone Destinations that came on my ‘21 Sport DCLB, great tires.
Mine came with the Firestone Destination LE2 and I was going to take them off immediately but they ride nice and are quiet, 20k on them now and they have 7/32” left. They came with 11/32” so if they keep wearing at the same rate they’ll be at 3/32” at 40k and it’ll be time to replace them. They’ve got a 60k treadwear warranty but I live in AZ and the heat is rough on tires.
We got Bridgestone Weatherpeaks instead. Not a full snow tire like the Blizzaks, but good snow performance for an all seasons set of tires.
They are fine, feel rather soft.
I had them on an Audi A4 one winter, it snowed a decent amount that year but there were plenty of non-precipitation days and they were OK (a little noisy) on highway and city.
I had Blizzak on my 2014 X5 and traded it in with them, on purpose. Noisiest tires ever. Couldn't wait to get rid of them, and the X5, due to a number of cooling system failures.
